Currently I am siiting in front of a system which logs me in automatically without prompting for password.
How do I force Mint to ask me for a password for a pre-defined (=last) login account?

Sorry, this does NOT help!
Yes, I switched to OFF (see attached snapshot).
But when I logoff an automatic login countdown is shown (see second attached snapshot).
Ok, it is a progress as now a countdown is introduced but how do I completely force the user to enter a password?

Ok, danke funktioniert.
